NutriMob Kids - An Application for the Evaluation, Prescription, and Monitoring of Home Enteral Nutrition Therapy in Pediatrics
Abstract
Nutritional therapy is one of the most important components of home care in pediatrics, especially the enteral modality. The use of technologies that support this kind of therapy is fundamental to the patient's quality of life. This paper describes the development of a computational solution to support the evaluation, prescription and monitoring of home enteral nutritional therapy for pediatric patients. Developed using OpenUP and supported by UML diagrams, the project’s results comprise a Web site for health professionals as well as a mobile application that allows family members or caregivers to monitor guidelines for the prescribed nutritional therapy.
